Is an abused narrator necessarily an unreliable one?

In a story of obsession and manipulated narratives, who gains our sympathy?

Learn the rules of the game: imitation, control, sarcasm. By whatever means available, Tobias will solve the puzzle of the fabricated world that Penelope lives in.

Following their relationship as they dissect a fabricated childhood in foster care, We're Few and Far Between unravels the mystery of a crime by challenging the audience to justify abuse, manipulation, and violence.

We're Few and Far Between marks Alexzandra's solo directing debut. She said: "I find new work so thrilling because of its ability to let your imagination run wild - We're Few and Far Between is no exception to this feeling. What I love most about theatre is how we are able to observe parts of ourselves on stage, and consequently, how we apply those observations to our everyday lives. I think Claudia's play is a beautiful vehicle in which to do this, and getting the chance to shape how an audience might experience that is so exciting."
